English for children audio lessons. The best audio fairy tales in English for children and adults: with supporting texts and useful tips

This section of our website is dedicated to the most precious thing we have - our little treasures - children.

What do you think the language we speak consists of? At first glance, everything seems very simple: language is words and their combinations that we hear and pronounce every day, but don’t rush to conclusions...

Of course, we all went to school, read a lot of books, listened a lot and talked to smart people. That is, language contains all the words that we have “collected” during our lives. But we often forget one small detail, that it all began from early childhood and the first words of the mother, nursery rhymes, counting rhymes, fairy tales and sayings, which we often did not even understand, but listened to and began to repeat over time! Is it because many of us find foreign languages ​​so difficult because we skipped this part of learning them? For example, do you know who she is? ladybird? This is not a lady bird at all, but, oddly enough, ladybug!

The new section of our website is designed to fill this gap in learning English, it is addressed to children - the texts are provided with music and pictures, but everyone who wants to speak English and understand native speakers is strongly recommended to listen and repeat these simple rhymes. The section will be updated and grow, so come back often and learn children's English with your kids!

Greetings, my dear readers.

I always say that learning should be interesting for children. Would you like me to share another method that I actively practice with my daughter? These are audio fairy tales for children in English.
Therefore, today I will share with you the ten best audio recordings, supported by supporting texts in English (at the end of the article you will find a link to download audio files for fairy tales).

But first I want to give you some tips on how best to structure your learning process.

• Choose a fairy tale.
  Yes, obvious and incredible, but still)). The choice of audio text can be said to be the most important element of effective learning. Look for what your baby has most likely already heard in Russian. In this case, it is simply vital to look for records from . And it’s even better with a translation (like mine here).
• Immediately - in Russian.
  First tell this fairy tale to your child in Russian. He needs to understand what he will listen about, who the main characters are.
• Learn the words.
  For example, if in “Little Red Riding Hood” the most common words are “wolf”, “grandmother” and body parts of that same grandmother, then learn them. Take some time to master this vocabulary.
• Let's listen.
  Only after you have become familiar with the text in Russian and have expanded your vocabulary - only now can you listen.
• Consolidation.
  And you thought everything, listened and forgot! No no no! Do additional tasks, ask questions.

Do it in Russian - your baby is not ready to “climb Everest” yet. When he answers, help him translate his answers. For example:

-Who pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood?
-Wolf.
-How do you say wolf in English?
-Wolf!

I recently became acquainted with an excellent online English learning service. LinguaLeo , my daughter and I registered there and sometimes use it - she really likes it there.

Most recently, the developers released a paid course - « For the little ones» - for those who are just starting to learn English. Being well acquainted with the excellent approach of the founders of the service to teaching English, I am sure that this product is made at the highest level (you can watch a video about it). If anyone has already purchased such a course, I would be glad to hear feedback about it in the comments ( ed. from 05.2016 - we have already tried the course - I recommend it to everyone).
